I support this petition because Comic Sans continues to haunt me everywhere I go. I hate it because most of my teachers use it on the most tedious and loathesome work I have to do. It is NOT \"comic\" in any way and I hate it!
I am a sound recordist, broadcast sound editor and University lecturer. I am also dyslexic. This dreadful font is used gratuitously, not only in business but also in the academic world. I had assumed, naively perhaps, that its use was due to a somewhat tragic attempt by the user to appear to be a \'fun\' character, but I have since been told that its use is advised in education training (in the UK, the PGCE programme) specifically in order to be \'inclusive\' to those of us with specific learning
difficulties. This I find astonishing, since comic sans is possibly the single most difficult font for a dyslexic person to read.
In the meantime, as long as people insist on making my life difficult by using this font, I will continue to do whatever needs to be done in order to change the font of their text into a readable form, but the sooner comic sans is officially removed from both work and education scenarios, the easier life will be for those of us who also have to contend with a specific learning difficulty such as dyslexia.
Comic Sans is a way too large font, it\'s not a good font in any situation! It will be more ridiculous to read an important things as: warning board, letter from the office/work, etc.
When I was at work, we got a warning brief from our manager and he used Comic Sans!! It gave me the feeling that he\'s not serious at all!
People who think that the supporters of \"ban comic sans\" are stupid are just the people who don\'t know anything about typography. they just have no idea how ugly this font is, imagine you are reading a book in comic sans, WON\'T IT HURT UR EYES, HUH?!? Maybe you think that the book really has 200 pages, but try using another, better font-type, the book will have less than 200 pages! Comic Sans just takes spaces and wastes the papers! Of course you can set the leading between the text, but it will take more spaces!
Just ban this font, it\'s ridiculously ugly!
